So I went to see Girls Trip this weekend and last weekend.
First, let me say that was AWESOME!!! It is definitely going to be one of those
movies I watch over and over on Saturdays and Sundays in my pjs. I loved seeing
those black women be just that, black women. I even loved the Howard Homecoming
plug (not to mention the HU Alum in the movie)! This movie reminded of me of my
girls trips to Miami, Vegas, Mexico, and even NOLA just to name a few, where I’ve
definitely had some Girls Trip moments. *sigh* Good times! *looks off into the
clouds*
As I watched this movie, I sat and tried to figure out which
of these characters I would be in my various circles of friends. I can see
myself in each of them. Although, regardless of the group of friends, I’d be
that person in the mosquito net about to “catch something” at some point in
each of my trips. LOL I love a shress and good time. But, I really connected with Ryan. The person
who also seems to have it all together when in real life, her life isn’t as “perfect”
as it seems. She’s struggling with the “can women really have it all?” dilemma
which I’m sure so many of us battle regularly. For her right now, she doesn’t.
I’m not going to spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen it, but just know
she has her struggles in the movie. I know we all struggle to know and accept
our worth at times as we live out our disappointments, failures, and setbacks.
I see(n) it and I’ve live(d) it. Hell, I’ll
be the first person to admit I struggle with this DAILY. She’s also is not as
connected with her “girls” as she would like to be. Getting caught up in her
own life as well as friend fall out, she and her frields have lost touch. I
understand this. I have so many friends that I don’t see or talk to often but
at the end of the day love is still there.
As I continue to walk this sometimes crooked path called my
life I’ll look back on all my “Howard Homecoming/Graduation Keisha moments”
with my girls and I smile and I’m thankful for those people who always have my
back. We are all just trying to figure out what this thing called life has in
store for us. I move forward, just trying to know my worth and requiring people
to know it too!
Oh yea, to my Julian… I see you boo liking them post… *pulls
down shades and looks over them*
